What it does
Catchup is an agent skill from Avijit07x/claude-db. Answer "where did I stop?" for this project. Gives three short groups, done, open and next, taken from the last chat, the recorded to-dos, the last handoff note and git. Use when the user comes back to a project, starts a new chat, or asks where they left off. It writes nothing.
Its SKILL.md is about 490 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Agent Workflows. It works with Git and Anthropic API. The repository describes itself as: Persistent memory for Claude Code. Bring your own database. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- The user comes back to a project
- Starts a new chat
- Asks where they left off
Example prompts
- “where did I stop?”
- “/catchup”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a6d829. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
git
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Catchup loads about 489 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 286 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
The full file from Avijit07x/claude-db at commit 9a6d829, republished under its Apache-2.0 licence (© Avijit07x). 286 words, ~489 tokens.

- description
- Answer "where did I stop?" for this project. Gives three short groups, done, open and next, taken from the last chat, the recorded to-dos, the last handoff note and git. Use when the user comes back to a project, starts a new chat, or asks where they left off. It writes nothing.
Where did I stop?
Run this from the project root:
claude-db catchupIt prints what memory and git know about this project, in plain text. Some parts may be missing. A part with nothing in it is left out.
Last handoffis a note the user or a teammate saved on purpose. Trust it most.Last chatis the newest recorded chat, with a few lines of the work done in it.Still to doare to-dos found in earlier chats.Not committed yetis recorded work that no commit has covered.Git statusandRecent commitsare the live state of the repository.
If the output is Nothing recorded for this project yet., say exactly that and stop.
Answer in three groups
Reply with these three groups and nothing else. Keep each to a few short lines in plain words.
Done: what is finished. Take it from the last chat, the recent commits and the handoff's Done line.
Open: what is started but not finished. Take it from Not committed yet, Git status, the to-dos and the
handoff's Open line.
Next: what to do first. Take it from the handoff's Next line, then from the to-dos.
Rules
- Use only what the output shows. Do not read other files or search memory unless the user asks.
- Mark anything you are unsure of with
(guess). Never state a guess as a fact. - If there is no clear next step, write
No clear next step found.Do not invent one. - Say how old the information is. Use the dates in the output, for example
Last chat (Oct 6). - Do not save anything. Do not run any command that changes the repository.
